It depends on how well the 270 was reconditioned. If it was a good job, I would certainly choose the 270. The Seydel standard is supposed to be OK, but it lacks windsavers/valves. If the 270 is cleaned up and reconditioned, I would choose it.
Bought new, the 270 costs almost twice as much as the Seydel Standard.

perhaps i am confused i didn't know there was a standard
the deluxe is what tex bought i believe
they retail for $150.00 which is if i am not mistaken
what a new 270 would cost
my chrom's are weltmeisters very nice harmonica
in my book

it's like the hohner educator. no valves, no warming up and everyone says very leaky.

Yes, the Seydel Deluxe Chromatic Harmonica is comparable to the Hohner 270 and the Suzuki SCX-48. The Seydel Standard is more of a beginner, valveless harp.

Just got back; I had to decide, I went with the 270,I wish I could afford a new 270 deluxe,but anyhow the seller has all good feedback ,says he cleans adjusts and debugs his stuff,so I will see.I really like Hohner in the diatonics. This is my first chromatic...

The Seydel Standard is really not that good of a chromatic. It is in no way on par with a 270 as it has a plastic mouthpiece and no wind savers.
The Seydel DeLuxe is built on a 270 style acrylic comb and comparable to the 270. Personally, I like the Saxony better but prefer the Saxony reed plates on a DeLuxe acrylic comb because it is lightweight.

all my diatonics have acrylic combs. I'm not too keen about the wood comb in this super 270.
